Default exhaust manifold

Will the 2 into 2 manifold from a 2008 FLHX fit on a 2003 FLHRI? The picture looks identical to the one on my Road King. The T pipe right at the rear jug cracked so I need another header.

Thanks for the help.

It will fit but if the 03 one doesnt have bungs for the O2 sensors you will have to them installed.

Just go to a Menard's and get plugs for the sensor ports. That's what I did.

A near by muffler shop gave me a plug. They get them in cats, that they take them out of.

search around, there's a thread about putting the 2010 exhaust on old style bikes.

the guy in the thread drills & taps the tranny pan for the cross over pipe mount, but I think you should research just buying the new model tranny/oil pan with the existing bolt holes.

the heat mitigation of the 2010 exhaust should be worth it, and it opens you up to variety of newer/higher performance exhausts off CL and the forum

FWIW, pipes newer than 2010 have a cat, so you can buy "de-catted" pipes off ebay for $90 ish?
you should able to post a WTB on local CL & get some 2010 parts cheap, since most guys have upgraded to the M8 and no longer need their old Twin Cam pipes.
